I think that's the big one coupled being convinced they were getting that thing right up until about 9pm on the night of the election. Then they
watched it all slip through their fingers.

My 6-year-old does it all the time. He constructs a mental image of what he thinks will be and becomes so convinced it will be that way that when it's
not, he is inconsolable, even to the point of emotional breakdown on a few occasions.

Not being able to hold a steady relationship is something to brag about?

He mocks liars, gossips, and degenerates.

Trump is a liar, gossip and degenerate. After all he is living proof you don't have to be poor to be white trash.

He uses his wealth, charm, and power to seduce women.

Oh please he's been buying his wives from third world nations for years. With his money he cannot find an American wife with even all the gold-diggers
in America this just proves he's a dirtbag.

He fights, and shames cowards.

Trump is nothing but a draft dodging coward himself. With him it's a family trait that goes back to his grandfather who was thrown out of their home
nation for refusing to serve. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it?

it isn't surprising. But that's how you foment the "other" mindset, which usually includes demonizing people you have zero relationship
with.

Touche! But, is hating someone demonizing them? I would like to think I'm not demonizing Trump. I don't view Trump as anything other than a human
being, like myself, that can (and does) fall prey to what I believe are baser desires. Is it not enough to maintain the mindset that
evil/malfeasance/underhandedness or whatever mal-adaptive quality one can assign is likely present in various quantity in all of us, and still
ascertain when someone leverages those bad qualities rather than rails against them? To hate Trump is not to attack him, but to recognize when he is
acting in a manner that is anathema to ones beliefs.

I can see that many people love him passionately, and although I disagree strongly with their reasons for doing so, I'm not so dense as to not realize
that there are many people that are very happy with his performance as president so far. I (and others like me) just hate him for what he represents,
how he acts, and how he enacts his policies. We don't wish death, or pain on him at all, we just wish him out of a position where he can do the harm
we believe he's doing. So, we'll vote against him when the time comes and maybe he'll get re-elected, and maybe he won't. I don't believe that's
demonizing, I think that's healthy political activism.

Well I'm not speaking about you personally, but I can appreciate your outlook.

I mentioned earlier that a majority of people oppose Trump because of his personality and character. So it's not so much his deeds that make him evil
in the minds of these sorts of puritans—as far as we can tell he hasn't harmed a soul—but his style, his tastes, his mannerisms, the way he
speaks, carries himself, his diet, his greed, his bloviating. his sleazy routines with women, his penchant for watching television, tweeting, etc. is
what irks them. Of course this description can fit on many many people. But he has the quality of a heretic, not because he is inherently evil, but
because he is not of the typical orthodoxy one has been taught to expect from politicians. He isn't the archetypical president. He doesn't mask his
humanity beneath the cloak of public relations (The US government is one of the biggest PR firms in the world), which until now has served as the
sole pacifier of the public.
